Contents:
1. A contested inheritance : Judaeo-Christian relations on the eve of the Reformation -- 2. A new dawn? Re-evaluating the Jews at the start of the Reformation era -- 3. Dashed hopes : Jews and the early Reformation -- 4. People of the Book : the Reformed Church and Judaism -- 5. A Tridentine response : the Catholic Church and the Jews -- 6. Fault lines : Jews in a confessionally divided Christendom -- 7. Caught in the crossfire : Jews and Christians in the era of the Thirty Years War -- 8. Heightened expectations : messianism, millenarianism and the hope of Israel.
Summary: "Judaism has always been of great significance to Christianity but this relationship has also been marked by complexity and ambivalence. The emergence of new Protestant confessions in the Reformation had significant consequences for how Jews were viewed and treated. In this wide-ranging account, Kenneth Austin examines Christian attitudes toward Jews, the Hebrew language, and Jewish learning, arguing that they have much to tell us about the Reformation and its priorities-and have important implications for how we think about religious pluralism today."-- Provided by publisher.
